NARROWING CORN.

ss$5 ~ NARROWING CORN.
With the slanting tooth harrows all
the small weeds may be destroyed in
corn until the plants are six or eight
inches high, and without 70 pulling
up enough to damage the crop. This
plan is better adapted to corn in drills
than in hills. It is generally drilled
too thickly, so that the occasional
pulling up of stalk by tooth
makes the crop better. II the field is
soddy or stony,and the corn be planted
in hills, it is possible that an entire
hill may be taken, and this would
leave too wide q vacancy on either
side. But the adjoining hills would ca,
better, so there would be little loss Of
grain even in such a case. .~e 80.
